SITRANS Probe LR
SITRANS Probe LR is a 2-wire loop-powered, continuous level measuring instrument that
utilizes advanced pulse radar technology at 5.8 GHz (6.3 GHz in North America). The instrument
consists of an electronic component coupled to the antenna and process connection.
Communication is via HART1, and signals are processed using Sonic Intelligence®.
Specifications
For a complete listing, see the full Operating Instructions for SITRANS Probe LR (see product
page at: www.siemens.com/probelr). For Approvals information, please refer to the device
nameplate.2
Ambient/Operating Temperature
WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Notes:
• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the Operating
Instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
• SITRANS Probe LR is to be used only in the manner outlined in this manual, otherwise
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired
• This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area may cause interference to several frequency based communications..

Recommendations
• Ensure ambient temperature is within –40 to +80 °C (–40 to +176 °F).
• Provide easy access for viewing the display and programming via the hand programmer.
• Ensure the environment is suitable to the housing rating and materials of construction.
Precautions
• Avoid proximity to high voltage or current wiring, high voltage or current contacts, and to
variable frequency motor speed controllers.
• Avoid interference to the emission cone from obstructions or from the fill path.
• Avoid central locations on vessels.
WARNINGS:
• This product can only function properly and safely if it is correctly transported,
stored, installed, set up, operated, and maintained.
• Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection or instrument
housing while vessel contents are under pressure.
• This product is designated as a Pressure Accessory per Directive 97 / 23 / EC, and is
not intended for use as a safety device.
• Materials of construction are chosen based on their chemical compatibility (or
inertness) for general purposes. For exposure to specific environments, check with
chemical compatibility charts before installing.
• The user is responsible for the selection of bolting and gasket materials which will
fall within the limits of the flange and its intended use, and which are suitable for
the service conditions.
• Improper installation may result in loss of process pressure.

Mounting instructions
• Before inserting SITRANS Probe LR into its mounting connection, check to ensure the
threads are matching to avoid damaging them.
• Simply screw SITRANS Probe LR into the process connection, and hand tighten.
• For pressure applications, it will be necessary to use PTFE tape (or other appropriate
thread-sealing compound) and tighten the process connection beyond hand-tight.
The maximum torque is 40 N-m (30 ft-lbs).
• To rotate the enclosure, use a 2 mm Allen key to loosen the three set-screws that secure
the locking collar. Once the enclosure is positioned as desired, tighten the set-screws.

WARNINGS:
DC terminals shall be supplied from an SELV 1source in accordance with IEC-
1010-1 Annex H.
All field wiring must have insulation suitable for rated voltages.
1. Safety Extra Low Voltage
Notes:
• For detailed wiring instructions, please refer to the full Operating Instructions.
• Use shielded, twisted pair cable (wire gauge AWG14 to AWG22).
• Separate cables and conduits1may be required to conform to standard instrumentation
wiring practices, or electrical codes.
• The non-metallic enclosure does not provide a continuous ground path between conduit
connections: use grounding type bushings and jumpers.
2. If cable is routed through conduit, use only approved suitable-size hubs for waterproof application.

To provide optimum signal conditions on a manhole cover, locate the antenna off-center
relative to the cover, typically 100 mm (4”) from the side of the manhole.
• Use the 100 mm (4") shield on nozzles that are 100 mm (4") in length, or shorter.
• Use the 250 mm (10") shield on nozzles that are 250 mm (10") in length, or shorter.

1. If you want to rotate the instrument on the process connection, use the 2 mm Allen
key provided to loosen the 3 Allen set-screws securing the locking collar. Position
the unit, and retighten the screws.
2. Strip the cable jacket for approximately 70 mm (2.75") from the end of the cable, and
thread the wires through the strain relief1.
3. Connect the wires to the terminals: the polarity is identified
on the terminal block.
4. Tighten the gland to form a good seal.
Close the lid and tighten screws: please do not overtighten
screws. (Recommended torque is 1.1 to 1.7 N-m (10 to 15 in-lb)
of torque)
Wiring setups for hazardous area installations
Always check the device nameplate and process device tag to verify the approval rating.
1. Intrinsically Safe wiring
Note: Do not rotate the enclosure after programming and vessel calibration,
otherwise an error may occur, caused by a polarity shift of the transmit pulse.

Instructions specific to hazardous area installations
(Reference European ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, Annex II, 1/0/6)
The following instructions apply to equipment covered by certificate number SIRA
06ATEX2354X:
1. For use and assembly, refer to the main instructions.
2. The equipment is certified for use as Category 1G equipment.
3. The equipment may be used with flammable gases and vapors with apparatus group IIC
and temperature class T4.
4. The equipment is certified for use in an ambient temperature range of –40 C to +80 C.
5. The equipment has not been assessed as a safety related device (as referred to by
Directive 94/9/EC Annex II, clause 1.5).
6. Installation and inspection of this equipment shall be carried out by suitably trained
personnel in accordance with the applicable code of practice (EN 60079-14 and EN 60079-
17 in Europe).
7. Repair of this equipment shall be carried out by suitably trained personnel in accordance
with the applicable code of practice (e.g. EN 60079-19 within Europe).
8. Components to be incorporated into or used as replacements in the equipment shall be
fitted by suitably trained personnel in accordance with the manufacturer’s
documentation.
9. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that manual override is possible in order to
shut down the equipment and protective systems incorporated within automatic
processes which deviate from the intended operating conditions, provided that this does
not compromise safety.
10. The ‘X’ suffix to the certificate number relates to the following special conditions for safe
use:
Parts of the enclosure may be non-conducting and may generate an ignition-
capable level of electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions. The
user should ensure that the equipment is not installed in a location where it
may be subjected to external conditions (such as high-pressure steam) which
might cause a build-up of electrostatic charge on non-conducting surfaces.
11. If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, then it is the
responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being adversely
affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.
Aggressive substances:e.g. acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals, or
solvents that may affect polymeric materials.
Suitable precautions: e.g. regular checks as part of routine inspections or
establishing from the material’s data sheet that it is
resistant to specific chemicals.
12. Equipment Marking:
The equipment marking contains at least the information on the product label, shown
under
Safety Guidelines on page 1.
